Needed to get my twin 2.5 lb. Chuck Roasts done in an afternoon. Wanted to end up with shreaded beef.
Got the grid temp to 350 degrees. Took about 3 hours for the meat to reach 205 degrees. I love pulled beef and usually do it low and slow but this may have been the best (and certainly the fastest) I've had.

    I love chuck roast, and can't wait to try it on the egg. Did you grill it direct or indirect?

    I did it indirect, set it up just like a low & slow cook (plate setter, drip pan) only I cranked up the heat.
    Wasn't sure if the meat was going to come out more tough this way but it pulled apart no problem with a pair of heat resistant gloves on.

    RD that looks fine. What did you add to the pulled beef?
    Salado TX & 30A  FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

    It was a last second decision, opened up the fridge and put this together:
    * 1/4 cup coke left over from drinks the night before.
    * Several dashes of country bob's all purpose sauce.
    * tsp of garlic from a jar.
    * a couple shots of Stubb's Beef marinade.

    Poured it over the beef before I sealed it up in heavy duty foil and let it rest for an hour in a cooler. Then I shreaded the beef and poured what was in the bottom of the foil over the pulled meat again.
    I gotta tell ya, it was outstanding.
